Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The GeForce 505 is significantly newer (2022 vs 2014). The GeForce 505 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The FirePro 2270 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The GeForce 505 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 1.4% higher G3D Mark score. However, the FirePro 2270 offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
